The story
Waffles is a card shop where the pack is real. Pick hockey, football, baseball, basketball, Pokémon or assorted sports, rip a pack on your phone, and the cards inside are real cards we physically hold.
Every card you pull is your call: keep it in your vault, have it shipped from Calgary by Canada Post, list it in the shop, or sell it back on the spot. Checkout runs on Stripe, and customers get their receipts by email.

- Receipts and order emails that go to every customer.

What it does
In plain words.
Buy a pack, rip it, and get real cards we physically hold — then keep, ship, list or sell them back.
Cards ship to your door from Calgary by Canada Post, and any card you do not want, you sell back on the spot.
The first five minutes
What you actually do first.
- 01Pick a category: hockey, football, baseball, basketball, Pokémon or assorted sports.
- 02Tap a pack: the buy prompt opens with the price, you pay with Stripe, and a single tap tears the pack.
- 03Each revealed card lands on a decision: hold, sell back, list or ship.
